Muslim community receives kudos for helping the poor

Share

The Muslim community in Zambia has been praised for the support it is rendering to the needy people in society.

Programme Officer at the Community Support for the Needy, Titus Sinyangwe, said the Muslim community has greatly helped the poor people who lack improved basic facilities such as clean drinking water, food and blankets.

He told the Zambia News and Information Services in Lusaka today that partners such as the Muslim community should be praised for their role in society.

Mr. Sinyangwe observed that there were a lot of less privileged people in society who are critically in need of help but the Muslim brothers and sisters have rendered significant assistance.
“The Muslim community in Zambia is doing a commendable job in alleviating the suffering of the less privileged people in society. They need to be praised for their contribution,” Mr. Sinyangwe said.

And Mr. Sinyangwe has praised government for having created an enabling environment for the Muslim community and other partners to operate freely in the area of helping the needy people in many Zambian societies.

He noted that the Muslim community in Zambia has so far lined up a number of programmes aimed at assisting the poor people as the country celebrates its 50th independence anniversary.
He said the Muslim community was willing to assist the needy especially this time when the country is celebrating its golden jubilee.
Mr. Sinyangwe has since urged other business entities operating in Zambia to emulate the good works of the Muslim community.

  1. Don’t be fooled by Muslims.They have an agenda – Bringing the whole world under Sharia law. They will feed the poor,offer social services,produce lots of little muslims all with the final end in sight.World domination!

    • To honest with you folks, I do not understand Muslim thinking at all. They are fighting each other in their countries and then decide to run away to seek refuge in predominantly Christian nations instead of Islamic nations where they not be treated with prejudice like Saudi Arabia.

      They leave Saudi Arabia, Quatar, UAE to go to as far as US , Australia, and UK. Once accepted by the host countries they then start their jihad business.

      I am beginning to question, whether the wars in their countries are deliberately started as way to go abroad and seek asylum and then be granted refuge status so that they can then start Jihad in the host countries. It might seem a crude strategy to spread Islam.

      They insult non Muslims as infidels after being welcomed and given a place to stay and…

    • @Jayjay

      You are absolutely right my bro. Any help offered by a religious group has some hidden agenda.

      In china there is a new Christian sect which believes that Jesus is back in form of a woman. This is similar to Islamic teaching that Mohammed is a prophet who replaced Jesus.

    • Religion is a dogma which serves as opium for the oppressed so said Martin Luther.

      So as Zambians we have to be very careful how far we believe these dogmas. Some of these religious sects are cults.

      The following are the characteristics of a cult;

      1. It preaches revenge.

      2. It oppresses women and regards them as men ‘s property.

      3. It encourages its members to kill those who belong to other religious sects.

      4.It brain washes its members to believe that if they kill in the name of its religious deity they will be rewarded with worldly pressure in paradise or heaven, such as marrying virgins, and being extremely rich.

      5.Its leaders are cowards who do not want to be the first ones to carry out deadly assignments. Instead its leaders use brainwashed kids to do their dirt…

  2. Definitely commendable. Very often I see boreholes being dug by them, wheelchair donations for the physically challenged, food packages and a lot more.. let’s not discourage this good work people do.. when was the last time you did something to help strangers?

  3. Thank you,
    For all your good works, God will richly reward your community.

    There is absolutely no need for the gov’t of Zambia to encourage communities that are fundamentally different to our core values. We are a Christian nation and cannot fly under two flags of opposing religious values.

    Sudan, Nigeria are lessons we need to learn. Will The current irresponsible Zambian gov’t please stop begging and step up to the plate. Provide for the people of Zambia instead of schmoozing IMF for more loans. Control these attacks on the central faith of Zambia.

  4. Please Please we dont want this Bokoharm they come in sheep skin but their agenda is something else. These Muslims are up to taking the whole world. We dont want their help let them take it else where.

  5. Christians are just as dangerous. More dangerous than Muslims, now that I think about it. Without consultation they declared Zambia their nation.

    The motive is to pusika everyone and steal, kill, maim, fondle, deflower, fornicate, defile, pilfer, embezzle, dictate, and subjugate Zambians in the name of the Lord! Who are they kidding? We know their motive. To domesticate Zambia under the crown of a figment of imagination of a man who never even existed.

    Look at suffering in the land of the lord! Disease, crime, indiscipline, poverty, joblessness, destitution, despair, immorality, and squalor. Weeru!

    • You!!, who told you that there is poverty in zambia because we are Christian?, we are Christians beacuse we were born to be, if you are a 7th century beliver,let it be so, dont start politics to bring havoc in our country, poverty has nothing to do with religion, you are giving poor people gifts so that you seduce them to say you are good.stop it. peace is best even with poverty, thats all we need, ” PEACE”

  6. Please, please, listern, let it be the last time people would want to be heard by taking lightly serious matters, our forefathers discided to call zambia as a christian nation,100 % christianity, we dont fight among us, we call no one infidel, we hae been peaciful and enjoy it, who is that person praising them?, which authority is he using,? lets not just be opening the mouths and speak anyhow, we dont want anything to do with them, let them leave us alon.Soon they will start calling for recognition in the constitution, calling for muslim judiciary, Tv channels for their preachings, at the end will start forcing everyone to join or face excution. am afraid, gvt needs to check these muslims out.

  7. People need to wakeup to the fact that Zambia was not founded on religion. Just because someone woke up one day and decided to declare Zambia as a Christian nation without consultation makes it a Christian Nation. Read the motto on our court of Arms, It states One Zambia One Nation. There is a reason why Our Founding Father did not declare Zambia a Christian nation even though they were Christians.

    • What are you talking about. Livingston and his fellow missionaries had already converted us by the time we designed our coat of arms, silly fool.

      We are not with you on this one.

  8. Folks, we cant be too careful with these characters. Whichever country they have managed to infiltrate, trouble follows soon after. The developed countries are soon going to pass drastic laws to curtail activities of these people. The former Australian Prime Minister bluntly told them to respect the culture of the land and not to bring in confusion. What kind of people are these who come to your land and want you to learn their ways and not the other way round? They are busy converting people to Islam and giving them Islamic names and before long, bombs will start exploding here. They have already applied for Islam TV but thank God Emmanuel Mwamba rejected the application. Islamic banking is already here. Wake up!

  9. All religion is just out-dated conjecture by man which offers absolutely no concrete proof of the existence of divinity. And christians are just as bad as muslims when it comes to religious persecution.History is littered with records of untold brutality and evil carried out in the name of christianity.We have all heard of things such as the burning at the stake of so-called heretics during the reformation. How does that differ from what some muslims are doing today. We have christians such as the Aryan Nation presently who preach their perceived racial supremacy over non-whites and do so in the name of christianity.Read the bible and see if it condemns slavery. Does it not in fact order a slave to obey its master?So what authority has a christian to condemn a slave owner?

  10. @Sauzande……

    You are pretending to be an atheist. I still think you are a Muslim and you have started your Jihad. Please Lord Jesus save us from these Jihadists. They are like a small elephant given shelter only to grow and push out the hosts. That is Islam. The observation by one of the bloggers that these people are out on a mission to “crowd” out Christianity and other religions including paganism by force is right. Why are they running to countries dominated by Christianity and not to Islamic countries? It is because they are on a mission. Zambia, please wake up, though I think, it may be too late. Western countries are not regretting their generosity. For Christians, let us go to full time prayer and seek forgiveness from our Lord.

  11. Islam means peace. Most of you bloggers are worshipping satan.
    These muslims have a duty to help fellow Humans as in the Quran.
    instead of discouraging them ,why dont you acknowledge something positive they are carrying out?
    As regards the fighting in the arab world,its the west policy to divide and rule…..
    dont be so myopic ,wake up to reality.
    If you dont have anything sensible to say,keep quiet.
